New Dye Dm13. Updated with lots of new pictures

And you say you arent angry? You sound as if our comments are taking money put of your pocket. Relaaaaax. You are upset because people are expressing their opinions on a forum? Really? You realize you don't have to subscribe to this thread right?

And why do you keep jumping back to 2007? We are in 2012 heading to 2013. Today the only company practices yearly releases still is DYE. Just like people complained when PE did it, people are upset that DYE is still doing it. Especially when the new releases have the same internals. At least other companies; PE and BL for example; add something new that wasn't in the previous version.

Now if you don't like people expressing their feelings that's fine. But you are no one to tell people that they can't speak their minds. The comments, complaints and concerns of people here have helped to effect the production of the Ego. Why can't it do the same for DYE?

I never said I have a problem with people voicing their opinions, and no I am not angry. I'm not getting on pe's case, let dye do what it wants to do. It's not harming anyone for them to do yearly releases. Think of it as one PL milling per year. You can choose to go for the new milled dm13 or the old dm12 used. I have a problem because people are angry at dye, when dye isn't doing any wrong. hell people asked for pl milling, but when they change up the milling on the regular gun they get mad or upset? lol

The funny thing about this all is that I don't even play anymore, I haven't bought a gun in over 4 years.

Yes DYE can do whatever they want. You are absolutely right. And people will either purchase their products or they won't. But that doesn't make it wrong for anyone to express their opinion about what the company is doing. Especially if you are a paying/supporting customer. And it would be wise for any company to, at least, take into consideration the opinions of those customers less it end up with fewer customers. Now am I saying the DM13 won't sell or that DYE is gonna go out of business? No. But I imagine that if their current trend continues when all other companies have stopped some adverse effect will fall upon them.

Dye selling a yearly release DM13 is not private label. Private label milling would be something along the lines of a custom milled Nexus DM13 or a custom milled TonTon DM13, not the bull**** stickers and anno treatment they've been getting.

Also, with how defensive you're getting it's an indicator that you're mad.

Not at all, it's called defending a point because none of you have convinced me that your view is superior to mine. If you can actually lay out an argument that I can agree with then I will stop being defensive. I know it's not pl milling, I made an analogy to people wanting pl milling. What's wrong with yearly release milling when pl milling is ok? That's the point I was making. As seen in your trying to argue with me in the proton thread your reading comprehension skills are seriously lacking. Soul06 I see your point, I'm not trying to come off as hostile just putting out my view and debating my point. This is nothing more than a friendly debate to me, if you want to correlate my fervently defending my points in a debate with people as me being angry then go ahead; but you'd be wrong.

PL milling back in the day was okay because it's unique and there's a limited run. If all of the SFT shockers were Dynasty milled they wouldn't have held their value or mattered much at all.

It's not the yearly release milling that's pissing me off, it's the fact that that's all they changed. The reason that current private label milling also sucks is because they change a few swoops and put a new sticker on it, I think that's bull**** as well.

Now, the reason I'm pissed is because the only things they CHANGED from the DM12 are the window milling and the 12 to a 13 and ramped up the price yet again. Planet Eclipse didn't have anything new they could do so they admitted that they would quit. That was my argument from the beginning.

Where you brought in PL milling I don't know, but if my comprehension skills are off then yours are nonexistent.

You know, Bob Long just released what? Five new G6r cuts? It is still the same gun on the inside, just with different milling. Are you saying that Bob Long is a horrible person and should stop doing what is obviously very lucrative for him?

First off, you do realize that things increase in price for many reasons right? How's the price of oil doing compared to last year? The cost of aluminum? Cost of the boards they buy? The eyes? Any or all of these components could have gone up in price due to other economic reasons, therefore increasing the cost of this years release.

And don't even try to question my reading comprehension skills when you blatantly avoided 90% of every post and counterpoint I had to your argument in the proton thread. either you were trying to argue against a strawman in order to try and win, or you really do lack the reading comprehension skills that an adult should have.

What is cheaper, replacing and redesigning the boards and leads on the boards, or changing the type of microswitch they order? By your own argument it is more logical for them to change microswitches instead of the boards design itself... Not to mention as you say if they are milled pcbs instead of etched then it would be even more expensive to change the pcb design and offer board changes than changing the kind of microswitch they use.

Also, if it costs the same for them to build a new microswitch and adds more clutter or the same to change the board up which would not add more clutter, which is more logical?

I never started the microswitch argument, you did.

Proof that you severely lack reading comprehension skills. I very clearly indicated that I wasn't talking about custm fabbed switches, you didn't comprehend it or you out right ignored it. Then the argument of yours I was referencing was you arguing for the most cost efficient method to be implemented, then explained why the microswitch is cheaper than changing the boards. So yes, you do lack comprehension skills.

So you'd rather I'd keep fighting a point I've obviously lost than to just give up and fight what I still believe in?

The thing is that I was selectively arguing what I could, not arguing what I couldn't. You just flat out don't understand what's being put in front of you.

Now, back to explaining private label markers to you.

When you buy a private label marker you're paying for the extra milling. Besides, the reason the DM13 was hiked up in price was because Dye could hike it up for the "new release" of the DM series. Not just because of those factors. When you buy a private label marker nowadays it's just a sad excuse, the amount difference you pay isn't because they had to mill everything differently, it's because they put a few different or less swoops in, some smaller strikes in the metal, and a different sticker or even just laser in a new design whereas the nice PL stuff like the Shockers had everything milled to be unique.

Private label nowadays should be MORE unique than it used to be, not less unique. It's ridiculous what they charge for a "Private label" marker now compared to what you get. They don't boast better performance 99% of the time, and there are hardly ever any changes that you can notice without actively staring at the marker.

You know what, **** it, why do I even care? If they want to rip you for a DM12 with a smaller window, I can't stop you to add that extra 1 onto your DM12. Also, why the hell are we arguing about the DM13 if you don't even play anymore and I'm obviously never even going to buy it?

Now, the reason I'm pissed is because the only things they CHANGED from the DM12 are the window milling and the 12 to a 13 and ramped up the price yet again. Planet Eclipse didn't have anything new they could do so they admitted that they would quit. That was my argument from the beginning.

Now, back to explaining private label markers to you.

Where do you see the price of the dm13 is hiked? The price of the dm13 is 1299 on ans gear, the price for the dm12 before the 200 dollar discount? Guess what $1299. And protip, selectively choosing individual premises of arguments that you can battle against and ignoring or wrongly discrediting the others is something called a strawman fallacy. something many, many people on this site are guilty of doing.

Okay, I should have stated it clearly, the DM13 is a DM12 at a higher price. That's what I meant by a hike in price. If you pay $1,299 in 2011 you shouldn't be paying $1,299 in 2012 for the same thing with an added 1 at the end.

Or it's called giving up on the other parts of the argument because you know you've lost.

Don't waste my time with stupid posts like this. I'll bother having an intelligent debate with you when you actually have an intelligent argument.

Except you would be if it were still the latest model. The only reason that the DM12 price dropped is because the DM13 was about to be released. If there was one DM model across several years, it would remain at the 1299 price point.

Good way to ignore a point you can't counter. I reserve intelligent arguments for people who deserve them. Your central argument is that Dye is bad because they are releasing a gun with the same internals and new milling. Bob Long is doing the same thing. Are you claiming that is different?

Except you still were arguing, you never conceded those premises; so the only thing to assume is that you were avoiding them. lol, maybe someone needs a critical thinking class along with a reading class.

The reason the DM12 price dropped is because the DM13 was about to be released. The DM13 is internally a DM12 in all regards, they just added a number and made a smaller window. That's the point of this entire argument, that they kept the price up even though companies who haven't released new ones haven't kept the price up and have dropped it accordingly.

I wasn't arguing the ones that I ignored, not the ones that I had kept arguing. I gave up on the ones that I ignored. That's conceding it.

No, that's called ignoring the point. Conceding is saying alright, I see you're point, your right, I agree with you. Ignoring is what you did, not conceding. Seriously dude, give up. You suck at arguing and have yet to make any kind of valid points or defenses.

So wait, you're at the point where you're hijacking a thread just to try and slander me?

I mean, I can understand me being wrong and all, but at this point you're just being a douchebag.

First off, the Etek 4, Etha, Geo 3, certain iterations of the Reflex Rail and G6R, and the Vapor all came out in 2012.

Also, lower end guns I'm not expecting to drop in price aside from the Mini because that's been going for 4 years, the G3 hasn't even been available for a while, the G4 has seen price drops (I don't remeber when, but from $330 to $300), the Axe is (Hopefully) dropping in price but I don't support it anyway, the DP FX has been ignored enough, I thought the Rev-I dropped from $1000 to $850 (?), the Rail dropped from $300 to $250, and the Reflex Rail is yearly and that has dropped accordingly.

So wait, you're at the point where you're hijacking a thread just to try and slander me?

I mean, I can understand me being wrong and all, but at this point you're just being a douchebag.

you've been an arrogant jerk this entire time. Asking for peoples credentials in electrical components threatening not to listen to them if they don't prove it, yet continuing to put your falsities about how **** works without listing your own credentials. ignoring posts, trying to cover up clearly misinterpreted statements by saying you just conceded the point instead? No sir I am not being a douchebag, I am only responding in the same manner that you have been speaking to people this entire time. Look in the mirror, there you will find the feminine hygiene product that you speak of.

So wait... You are mad?

I'm sorry, this is just too funny. I never asked ANYONE for their credentials, I asked them if they knew anything about a certain subject and I would disregard them if they didn't, but you are mislead and are, in fact, being a douchebag. I did not ignore posts, I chose not to answer them, it's as simple as that.

How do you get me being mad for just stating what is fairly obvious in the first place? lulz have been had, either you're a good troll or an imbecile.
